Teas For Skin

When you hear someone mention teas to you, most likely you’re thinking of one of two types of tea. Most people immediately think of green tea or English tea. In fact, many people haven’t got a clue that some of the best teas are good for your skin. There are so many benefits to drinking different types of teas that I had to dedicate time to go over many of the types.

Many people ask me the same question over and over. They ask, “Which tea is best for my skin?” Well, that’s a tough question to answer given that we have so many different individual needs that must be met. Each of your skin conditions may be completely different from the next. I’m going to do my best to share some information on some of the different kinds of tea that exist which people are using today.

Top 10 Best Teas For Healthy Skin

Many of these teas will help do more than just clear your skin. They can make you feel better and actually put you in a healthy physical and mental state. Here’s a list of the different types of teas you can begin consuming.

What most people don’t realize is that people have been drinking tea for many years due to the health benefits that they can attain from doing so. Although I’m only discussing ten types of tea here in this article, there are more that you can benefit from drinking. Don’t concern yourself with other teas for now. Instead, spend time focusing on educating yourself on the teas below. Heck, if you feel inclined enough, go ahead and purchase one or two kinds. See what impact it has on your overall well-being and skin.

Green Tea – I’ll go ahead and start with the obvious tea. Green tea is actually really good for your skin. The tea itself has tons of agents that can successfully fight off and free radicals that form as a result of too much sun exposure. It has been known to prevent wrinkles and reverse light skin damage in certain individuals. There is something in green tea known as catechins which can help replenish your skin and bring it back to a healthy looking state.

Ginger Tea – Next on the list is the tea that fights inflammation as if it were Superman. Ginger tea is very good for your digestive tract as well as your skin. There have actually been articles written on how digestion problems can lead to skin issues. Ginger tea is also great for boosting your immune system. In the event that you’ve got a cold coming on, drink this tea. It will make you feel better.

Matcha Tea – This is really packed with lots of nutrients and antioxidants. Matcha also contains chlorophyll and catechin. It also contains natural antibiotics which make it a great tea for those looking to fight off infections. This tea is not only a drinking tea but it’s also one that’s used as an active ingredient in creams, lotions and face masks.

Peppermint Tea – I don’t mention this type of tea that often but it is still a rather popular one. Peppermint tea is used by people that produce oil quickly. The tea helps slow down the production of oil. It’s also known for being able to help remove dead skin cells from your body. If you’re a woman going through hormonal changes, peppermint tea might help better balance your hormones and as a result, help you reduce the presence of acne.

Chamomile Tea – Honestly, this is probably the most popular tea that people drink for the skin benefits. Chamomile contains something called quercetin which helps you fight off damage from too much sun. In addition to that, it helps you relax and we all know how important relaxation and destressing are when it comes to skin. You need to sleep well if you want to look young. The good news is that chamomile tea just might do the trick.

Jasmine Tea – I’m sure that jasmine tea isn’t as prominently placed at your supermarket as the green tea and chamomile, but it’s a tea that’s really good for your skin. It can help treat bad skin conditions such as adult acne as well as eczema. This tea also does a great job of boosting your immune system.

Dandelion Tea – This is an herbal tea that can really help make your skin look better. It’s got immune boosting properties as well as some super antioxidants that help make your skin look that much better! It’s also really good for your insides. If you have both skin and stomach digestion issues, then think about incorporating this into your daily routine.

Oolong Tea – Last but not least, I’m going to leave you with the Oolong tea. This is a unique type of tea. It has more health benefits than most of the teas that are out there. If you’re having issues with skin color, dark spots or even damage from smoking e.g. smokers lips, then you might want to consider drinking a cup of this on a daily basis.

Too Much Tea

I must warn you that too much of anything is a bad idea. The same principle applies when it comes to teas. If you’re thinking about drinking all of these teas throughout the day then you’re going to find yourself in a bit of trouble. I’d say it would be foolish to attempt to drink all these teas in one single day. In fact, before you consume any of these types of tea, I want you to do more research. Then, when you think you’ve made a decision, I want you to call your physician or dermatologist to ask their opinion on it. Once you get the green light from either of them, you’re in the clear to drink your tea. Cheers!
